Calvin Bassey Backs France to Lift 2026 World Cup Trophy
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has tipped France to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup after Nigeria failed to qualify. His choice reflects France’s depth and balanced squad. Drawn in Group I alongside Senegal, Iraq and Norway, Les Bleus boast a formidable attack led by Kylian Mbappé. Their blend of experience and talent makes them favourites in many pundits’ eyes. Bassey made his prediction during a casual Q&A session with his Premier League club. France will also be motivated to give coach Didier Deschamps a fitting farewell in what could be his final tournament.
